Light white head. Floral hop aroma. Color is a nice copper hue. Taste is again of the floral hop variety. Carbonation is present but balanced. When I drink this beer I think this is how a good IPA/APA should taste - very fresh and very flavorful. Not overpowering but just plain enjoyable.

Amber pour with a foamy white head. A bit of caramel malt comes through in the aroma and flavor, but is quickly pushed to the background by the hoppiness. Don’t get me wrong, this is no hop bomb. Instead it’s a very refreshing, just hoppy enough Pale Ale. Great session beer, as I could put a lot of these down!

I guess I’m the annoying guy at the Sierra party, but I must be the only person in the world who cannot stand Sierra Nevada. I would rather drink a Boone’s Farm wine.

Incredible Pale Ale! 3/4" of head that gradually faded after about 5 minutes. Clear amber color that almost resembles a dark apple juice. Under the cap was a great scent of citrus. Taste was a great blend of hops and malts, also hinted of citrus and perhaps cherries. Feel was crisp and refreshing. Loved it and will be enjoying it again soon!

Starts with a hoppy aroma, with a light mouth. Can be somewhat bitter depending on pairing. Great for relaxing and drinking a clean beer.

Very nice, flavorful. Nice hoppy aroma. I like this one by itself, or mixed half-and-half with apple cider to make a snakebite.

(Bottle). Hoppy fragrance. Color is medium amber with a decent head. Wonderfully well balanced flavor -- hops, grapefruit, pineapple, just the right amount of bitterness. Smooth finish. Enjoyable and refreshing.

Bottle shared with Jackie at Beer Bistro. It’s everything our local Tankhouse should be. Slightly more aggressive and spicy. Looks great, smells great, and tastes like a slap in the tankhouse
